    Went out to the Deauville after it sitting for about 2 weeks without a start. The starter turns it over alright, but no sign of a start, and every so often I get what I assume is a backfire (loud bang, about gunshot loudness, and a nasty explosion smell).

    Anything obvious I can try before getting the experts in? I'm trying it with choke on, and haven't tried jump starting it yet since I'm not sure it's that.

    Flooded, fouled plugs or plug, take them out and clean them.

    Went out this morning with the 'flooded' theory and it went first go with choke off. It has become apparent that I should become a dentist and get a beemer.

    Yeah thats what usally happens after its left sitting for awhile after flooding, the fumes evaporates. I would also check out the choke cable to make sure its opening and closing properly.
